A new chapter · Will you join us?
Anchor Point has just become an independent church and we need everyone's help. We continue to face start up costs and ministry resource needs. If you have been giving faithfully, thank you: your generosity is what makes this new chapter possible. If you have never made giving a habit, there is no better moment to start. Every gift, large or small, contributes to carry the hope of Jesus into Carol Stream. Will you join us?

Saturday, October 24 · 9:30 a.m. · Anchor Point Church

A standing need · Secure storage for ministry equipment
Could you help? If you have a trailer to donate — or know someone who may — please speak with Pastor Craig or one of our elders.

Fri, November 20
Friday, November 20
Back for round two! Bring your best chili or your favorite pie — prizes for the best chili, and plenty of friendly rivalry in between. While the tables are full, we'll hold our annual Family Chat: a time to give thanks for all God did in 2026 and look ahead to the great things He has in store for 2027. Come hungry, leave encouraged.
Weekly · Not the first week of the month
Our community groups take the questions raised by the message and work through them during the week, around a table in someone's living room, with people who know your name. These meet weekly (but not the first week of the month). Group times, locations, and how to get into one are all on the Ministries page.
The calendar
Whatever week it is, these are the doors that are always open.
Community groups work through discussion questions drawn from Sunday's message. The group list, meeting times, and how to join all live on the Ministries page.
Miss a Sunday, or want to sit with it again? The most recent message is posted with the series it belongs to.
New here, or ready to stop being new? Tell us who you are and what you're interested in, and a real person follows up.
Send it to the people who pray over what comes in. Share as much or as little as you want to.
Giving keeps Sunday running and funds the work out in Carol Stream. One-time or recurring, whatever you're able to do.
